Lyle School District

The Lyle School District in Washington state consists of three schools: Dallesport Elementary, Lyle High School, and Lyle Middle School. The district is struggling academically, with all three schools performing significantly below state averages on assessments. Dallesport Elementary is the lowest-ranked school in the district, ranking 981 out of 1,168 elementary schools in Washington, and has consistently low proficiency rates in core subjects. In contrast, Lyle High School has relatively higher performance, ranking 336 out of 437 high schools, with a graduation rate of 85.7% but a higher-than-average dropout rate of 9.5%.

The district's schools share several common challenges, including high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 74.63% to 83.67%. This suggests a need for additional support and resources to address socioeconomic factors that may be impacting student achievement. Additionally, the small student enrollments at the secondary schools, with only 67 students at Lyle High School and 49 students at Lyle Middle School, may present challenges in offering a diverse range of educational and extracurricular opportunities.

The data also reveals variations in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools, which may be contributing to the differences in academic performance. Dallesport Elementary and Lyle High School have higher spending per student compared to Lyle Middle School, and Dallesport Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio, which may provide more individualized attention for students. Overall, the Lyle School District faces significant challenges in improving student outcomes and ensuring equitable access to quality education across all grade levels.
